Chapter 23 Copying the Paste Before Washing the Inkstone Pool, Planting Chives Under the Nanshan Mountain

"Qingwa, come here, Mom has something to ask you!"

Liu Cuie ran out of the kitchen after hearing Li Changqing's voice, wiped her hands on the blue smock and waved.

"Oh!"

Li Changqing replied softly, while Li Hongdou was smiling prettily at the side.

"When will you bring the girl home and show it to Mom?" Liu Cuie asked, looking at Li Changqing.

"Mom, don't listen to Hongdou's nonsense, it's nothing!" Li Changqing said with a headache.

"I've seen it all, you kiss and touch other girls, do you still want to be irresponsible?" Liu Cuie said dissatisfiedly.

"I didn't!" Li Changqing said helplessly.

"Not yet, according to Hongdou, the girl is looking for you now!" Liu Cui'e retorted.

"Hey, that's just to save people!" Li Changqing said weakly.

"You don't need to be responsible for saving people? So many people saw it, how do you let the girls marry in the future?" Liu Cuie continued.

"Mom, don't think so much, I don't even know what the girl's name is!" Li Changqing said in a daze.

After a meal, Li Changqing felt that the days seemed like years, and he finally survived all kinds of problems.

Returning to the cabin at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there are only the sound of running water, frogs, birds, and leaves whirling around.

Light a solitary lamp on the wooden table in the thatched shed, and it emits a dim light in the dark night, making it look deep and silent.

Li Changqing felt more and more that Zhong Nanshan was a pure land of bliss, and reaching out to embrace the night was equivalent to embracing the whole world.

After reading "The Analects of Confucius" for two or three hours, Li Changqing entered the bamboo forest in the "Hundred Schools of Philosophy" as usual.

In the bamboo forest, there are treasures of many famous calligraphers and painters throughout the ages, but Li Changqing seldom comes into contact with brushes and needs to start from the most basic ones.

In regular script, running script, and cursive script, most people practice regular script first, and a few people practice running script directly.

Li Changqing chose to start with regular script with formal style, independent strokes and stable structure, which is in line with his neutral and peaceful personality.

After reviewing the experience of many famous calligraphers on bamboo, Li Changqing customized a strict study plan for himself.

After entering the bamboo forest every day, Li Changqing practiced by the inkstone washing pool, starting from the most basic writing posture.

Although it is only one week since Li Changqing received the reward of washing the inkstone pool, the passage of time in the "Hundred Schools of Philosophy" is much slower than that in the real world, and it does not distinguish between day and night!

Whenever he has free time, Li Changqing will practice the way of writing in Xiyanchi, and will not quit until he is exhausted.

Even sometimes when returning to the real world, Li Changqing drank a few cups of spiritual water to restore his strength and went back to practice.

There is only one week in the real world, but Li Changqing actually practiced the way of writing for several months.

For a long time, Li Changqing didn't write a word, just kept the correct posture as much as possible.

Gradually forming an instinct for how to hold a pen, Li Changqing finally began to practice special pens such as dot, horizontal, vertical, left and right.

Among the bamboo forests are Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Qinli Stele", Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Pagoda Stele", Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Stele", Zhao Mengfu's "Banba Stele" and other famous treasures, but Li Changqing finally chose the "Tang Dynasty Monk Huairen". Collection of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Sacred Teachings as a copy paste.

The characters inside are all authentic works of Wang Xizhi, and the brushwork is strict and structured. The key is to have basic teaching, otherwise Li Changqing can directly choose Wang Xizhi's regular script "Yue Yi Lun" and "Huang Ting Jing" to learn.

There is a stone platform next to the inkstone washing pool. On the stone platform, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones, which will reappear after use.

Li Changqing is like a child learning to write. He forgets what he has done before, and starts to practice very seriously from one point, one horizontal, one stroke, and one stroke, and he doesn't stop until his arms feel sore.

After quitting the 'Hundred Schools of Philosophy', Li Changqing watched "Soup Song" as a pastime to pass the time.

In the early morning, after Li Changqing finished reading, he opened the wooden barrel containing leek seeds.

The leek seeds soaked in it directly emit small green shoots, which look full of vitality.

Ordinary leek seeds need to be soaked for three days to swell, but Li Changqing's seeds soaked in spiritual water can grow tender green sprouts in just one night.

Facing the sun, Li Changqing walked on the mountain road with a wooden barrel to a vegetable field further away.

Dig a small hole in the vegetable field, put five or six seeds, and leave a gap of ten centimeters between each hole.

More than 170 packets of leek seeds in the wooden barrel were not sown until the sun went down at night.

When he went out to work, Li Changqing never brought his mobile phone. When he came back, he saw that there were more than 100 messages on WeChat.

They were all classmates and friends who hadn't been in touch for a long time. Most of them were asking about saving lives, and some of them were curious about Li Changqing's recent situation.

Li Changqing replied politely one by one, roughly talking about the whole story of saving people, returning home to farm and so on.

In the "New Friends" column of the address book, there is a name named "Tian Lai Linger", and the note is "I am the girl you saved".

Li Changqing thought for a while, and long pressed to delete the application message.

After sowing the leek seeds for a day, Li Changqing could hardly recover from drinking the spiritual water, but he still insisted on completing all the homework every day.

The leeks have been planted, so Li Changqing doesn't have to worry much about it, he just needs to pour some diluted spiritual water with a pot every day, and it can be done in less than half an hour.

Li Changqing began to go to Zhongnan Mountain to investigate the location of the chickens. After walking all over the Zhongnan Mountain, he found a wide mountain depression. The mountain depression was in the shape of an equilateral triangle. Build a chicken farm.

In addition, Li Changqing also needs to build a chicken coop.

The project is huge and cannot be rushed.

Li Dajiang is usually very busy, and last time he spared two days to help Li Changqing build a wooden house under Zhongnan Mountain.

Moreover, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Accepting a fish offered by others can only relieve the hunger for a while, and only by learning how to fish can one be self-sufficient.

Li Changqing plans to use his spare time to help Li Dajiang, learn carpentry skills, and build a chicken coop by himself.

But before that, Li Changqing decided to go to the old tea factory to transplant a batch of tea trees.

The old tea factory used to be called "Dongfeng Tea Factory", which is halfway from Lingxia Township to Lijia'ao.

When Li Changqing was in elementary school, he often went to Dongfeng Tea Factory to pick tea with his teachers and classmates, and did work-study programs.

But when Li Changqing entered junior high school, Dongfeng Tea Farm went bankrupt.

Li Changqing borrowed a tricycle from Li Changwu's house, and rode unsteadily to Dongfeng Tea Factory.

Most of the factory buildings of the tea factory have collapsed, only the guard room of the year is still standing.

"What are you doing? Who let you in? Get out, get out!"

A stern voice came from the guard room, and an old man in rags walked out, staring at Li Changqing and saying.
